American’s waste generation per household increases 25 percent, or
almost 1,000 pounds of trash, between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day;
almost 80 percent of what is thrown away during the holidays could have
been recycled or repurposed, according to the U. S. EPA.
The most common non-recyclables contaminating the recycling waste
stream during the holiday season include bubble wrap, cellophane,
string/rope, ribbons and bows, batteries, food, and clothing. Some of
these are recyclable at special drop off locations, but NOT in the
curbside bin.
Plan to compost fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds, egg
shells, tea bags and other organic non-dairy (and no meat items) in your
backyard or local compost bin.
And don’t forget to Bring One for the Chipper and recycle Christmas trees, with all ornaments, stands, and lights REMOVED!

Sat & Sun: 3:15 PM
Based on the humorous writings of author Jean Shepherd, this beloved
holiday movie follows the wintry exploits of youngster Ralphie Parker
(Peter Billingsley), who spends most of his time dodging a bully (Zack
Ward) and dreaming of his ideal Christmas gift, a “Red Ryder air rifle.”
Frequently at odds with his cranky dad (Darren McGavin) but comforted
by his doting mother (Melinda Dillon), Ralphie struggles to make it to
Christmas Day with his glasses and his hopes intact.

What:Watch a holiday double feature, Frosty’s Winter Wonderland and White Christmas,
with your neighbors and family. Bundle up, bring blankets and chairs,
pick up dinner at a nearby restaurant, and snuggle down to watch two
holiday favorites.

Sorry for the interruption, folks, but I always do the last dance of the season. This year somebody told me not to. So I'm gonna do my kind of dancin' with a great partner, who's not only a terrific dancer, but somebody... who's taught me... that there are people willing to stand up for other people no matter what it costs them. Somebody who's taught me about the kind of person I wanna be. Miss Frances Houseman.

On November 15, the City of Decatur and Decatur Development Authority
will host a Small Scale Real Estate Development Workshop. Get a big
picture view of small scale real estate development. The Workshop
offers specialized training about how to create small projects, like 1-3
story buildings with less than 20 units, which are residential,
commercial or mixed use. The Workshop is a day-long session designed to
introduce the principles and implementation mechanisms behind
neighborhood based development projects. The course assumes you know a
lot about where you live, but not necessarily much about the real estate
process or building development. Discover where you need help and meet
the people who can help you. Through presentations on finance, design
and site selection, a hands-on practice exercise, and networking with
local like-minded people, this workshop is the first step to becoming a
small developer yourself or creating a supportive ecosystem for small
development in your city.WHAT: Small Scale Real Estate Development WorkshopWHEN: Wednesday, November 15, 2017, 8 a.m.- 5 p.m.WHERE: Courtyard by Marriott, 130 Clairemont AvenueDecatur, GA, 30030COST: Early Bird Registration Rate ($185) Concludes Friday, October 20, 2017

The Court House looks so much better without that bandstand built in the middle of the front steps. Why would they block the front view. Why don't they move it to the left about 100 feet over in the grass area.
